COLOR CODEGS/PGS - Emerald Green Pearl MetallicDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the 1990s Mopar aesthetic. If you own a second-generation Ram or a Dakota from this era, you likely have this deep, forest-inspired shade. It provides a rugged, organic look that appears almost black in low light but reveals a rich green glow under the sun. Since your vehicle has likely faced decades of weather and UV exposure, the original pigment may have aged, but the depth of this emerald remains a staple for truck owners who appreciate a classic, non-black dark finish.

Technical Details

This is a pearl metallic finish, which means it contains a mix of traditional metallic flakes and translucent mica. The pearl particles give the paint a three-dimensional quality, but they also make the repair more sensitive. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will "sink" or cluster, creating dark streaks or a blotchy appearance known as mottling. Achieving a match requires patience because the way those particles settle determines the final shade.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Emerald Green Pearl Metallic (check for code GS/PGS), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend the mica and metallic particles. You can usually find your paint code on the safety certification label inside the driver's side door jamb or on the metal plate located on the radiator support under the hood. Test the color on the included card to see how it compares to your aged paint. While applying, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the surface. Pay close attention to your drying time between light layers to build the color and depth without causing the metallic to shift or run.
